SUNDANCE NEWS

Line dancers

Line Dance 101
New series begins in July
Sundance Saloon

New to line dancing? Line-dance-challenged? This is for you! We have lessons starting with our most basic line dances this month, and we spend the time it takes for everyone to learn them. Each week we introduce a new line dance for you, gradually increasing the level of difficulty over the next few months.

The same line dance is taught on Sunday and Thursday of any given week, giving you multiple chances to learn a dance. (Sundays allow a full 45 minutes for the lesson; Thursdays are truncated to 30 minutes.) Plus we have many other resources available to you, so you can practice at home. As always, our lessons are included in the price of admission.

Schedule for beginners:

  • Sundays: 5:30 - two-step; 6:30 - line dance
  • Thursdays: 6:45 - two-step; 7:30 - line dance
Sundance Swing at Sundance Saloon

New! Sundance Swing!
Thursdays • 6:30–8:00 pm
Sundance Saloon • Loft

On Thursdays Sundance Saloon presents open non-stop West Coast Swing dancing in the Loft from 6:30 to 8:00 pm! You can dance to a mix of country and non-country music (no lessons - just dancing). And of course, this project being part of Sundance Saloon, we cater to the LGBTQ community, but all are welcome. We'll have our usual mix of two-step and line dance lessons downstairs during this time.

Line Dance Pro

Line Dance Pro
Sundays (except 1st Sun of month) • 5:00–6:30 pm
Sundance Saloon • Back Room

Can't get enough line dancing? Line Dance Pro is an opportunity to increase your line dance abilities and challenge yourself with new line dances not included in our regular Sundance Saloon repertoire.

Our Line Dance Pro sessions run every Sunday in the Back Room of Sundance Saloon (except the first Sunday of the month)! Includes lessons starting at 5:15 pm, except the last Sunday of the month which features a line dance marathon. Check the Sundance Saloon instruction calendar for the schedule.

Free • Advance registration recommended

Sundance Saloon presents a three-week series of instruction in clogging for beginners with instructor Ian Enriquez of the Barbary Coast Cloggers. No experience necessary. This is a three-week series, with each week building upon material from the previous week, with the ultimate goal of learning a full dance routine.

The class is limited to 12. There is NO FEE for three-week series (except for the $7 admission fee to Sundance Saloon). Advance registration highly recommended.

Volunteers at Sundance Saloon

Volunteers Needed

Please help us! Sundance Saloon is a community effort, dependent on lots of people chipping in a little bit. We are always looking for more help, and this has never been more true. If you have not volunteered in the past, this is a great time to think about stepping in. You can become an integral part of what makes Sundance so special.

Our needs at Sundance Saloon include set-up, front door, and coat-check. Shifts are generally one hour. No experience necessary.

We are in need of Thursday "core volunteers." Core volunteers commit to serving one hour a month for three months and are essential to our operations. We've had a shortage of core volunteers ever since our post-Covid reopening. Please help!
